Question

I want to extend RuntimeException to create this specific exception:

class CompileLinkException extends RuntimeException {

    CompileLinkException(int shader) {
        int infoLogLength = glGetShader(shader, GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH);
        String strInfoLog = glGetShaderInfoLog(shader, infoLogLength);

        // set exception message = strInfoLog

        glDeleteShader(shader);
    }
}

How do i set a custom exception message? The only way i know is to call

super(message)

but this instruction must be the first statement in the constructor.

You could do something like this:

super(glGetShaderInfoLog(shader, glGetShader(shader, GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH)));
